What is the G(irls)20 Summit? The G(irls) 20 Summit is modelled after the G20 Leaders’ Summit, selecting one delegate from each G20 nation plus a representative from the African Union.  The G(irls)20 meets before the leaders of the world’s most powerful nations meet at the G20 Leader’s Summit in Brisbane, Australia in November 2014.  We do this in advance so that we can present recommendations for consideration by the G20 Leaders’.

We commit to take concrete actions to overcome the barriers hindering women’s full economic and social participation and to expand economic opportunities for women in G20 economies.”  G20 Leaders’ Declaration 2012

There are 3.5 billion girls and women in the world, this represents 3.5 billion ways to improve the world but without opportunities and investments in their education (formal and informal), the potential of girls and women as economic and social agents of change is lost.

G(irls)20 focus on the fact that girls with economic opportunities grow in value in their communities and their communities grow with them. Girls invest in themselves, their families and other girls, creating a ripple effect that can lift entire communities out of poverty.

G(irls)20 is about mobilizing the private, social profit, academic and government sectors to present achievable recommendations to G20 Leaders via a global platform that represents ½ the world’s population.

With this in mind, we have devised a program that economically & politically empowers adolescent girls, unlocks their economic potential and gives them the skills they need to flourish. We work with incredible people and organizations to ignite adolescent girls’ potential and unleash the impact they can have on their communities and countries.

OVERVIEW OF G(IRLS)20 PROGRAMMING:

AUSTRALIA 2014

While in Australia, delegates will attend skills building training sessions, hear from a global panel of experts and discuss and promote tangible, scalable solutions toward economic prosperity. The Summit will culminate in a delegate-led press conference and communiqué that provides a blueprint to G20 leaders on how to utilize and engage one of the best resources in the world – girls and women.

Four Summits have taken place : Toronto, 2010; Paris, 2011; Mexico City, 2012; Moscow, 2013.  Each Summit produces a communiqué which is presented to the G20 Leaders, Ministers of Industry, Health, Innovation, Economic Development and Foreign Affairs and Ambassadors. Each Summit also results in the development of community based initiatives led by the delegates.
